Privacy Policy

At HeadsDontBounce.com, the privacy of our visitors is extremely important to us. This Privacy Policy document outlines the types of personal information that is received and collected by HeadsDontBounce.com and how it is used.

What information do we collect?

As we have no membership, registration, newsletters, or login option, there is very little in the way of personal information collected about visitors to HeadsDontBounce.com

When making a comment on an article, or contacting us through our Contact page, you will be asked to enter your name and e-mail address. This information is only used if/when we need to reply or respond to you. You can be assured that this information is strictly confidential and is never given, sold, or passed on to any third-party. When making a comment on an article, your email address is not shown publicly.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment, assuming you have a Gravatar account.

How do we protect your information?

HeadsDontBounce.com uses https (HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure). This means that when you are entering your name and email address in a comment or Contact Us page, the data is encrypted and is thus protected against eavesdropping and keeping user communications, identity and web browsing private.
